  • Between Storms

    Billings gets hit by a tornado. All while I was up in Pattee Canyon getting in a ride and miraculously between huge storms. At one time I got to the edge of a hail storm on Mount Sentinel and turned around a bombed back to town where it was still nice and dry.  Today however…

  • Thursday Rain Hike

    Our usual Thursday Night Ride in Missoula got switched from a bike ride at Blue Mountain to a hike up Mount Jumbo. I tried to carpool with Mr. Cymbals but got no response. It seemed like everyone was avoiding the outdoors, hiding from the relentless, freezing rain. I grabbed a Vanilla Black Tea and a…

  • Rain

    Sitting here, warm now, wondering if I made a bad decision to Move to Missoula Montana. We have not had summer yet. We do get sunny days but they last a couple days at the most. Last night as I returned from my ride I was drenched again and that in itself is only part…

  • Bitterroots

    Last night I was gearing up for a session in the Pain Lab and I got a ring from my friend Ed. The sun was finally out, and he was biting at the bit to get out. His better half Laurie had already been out in the North Hills (Waterworks Hill) and was reporting a…

  • Woman Hater

    The weekend is at hand and while I didn’t get out a decent blog I do offer an excuse. You see one for the proposals of where I work is gone and when that happens all hell breaks out and everything is full of stress and chaotic psycho freakiness. As a token of my shortcomings…

  • Jury Duty

    Hold onto your Stetsons, folks, because I just got a doozy in the mail. This fancy-schmancy envelope promised me a spot on the coveted America’s Got Talent judges’ table. Now, in my neck of the woods, Connecticut, your boss legally owes you five whole days of jury duty pay. After that, it’s a bit less…

  • Getting Back On The Horse

    I plan to post some of my most awesome photos of this last weekend as soon as I can. You see, I could of by now. But then I discovered two thousand other photos that I had taken and forgot about. So in my infinite wisdom I figured the best way to battle the “getting…

  • Whatchamacallit

    Another day gone and forgot to blog again. Sheesh! Hard getting back into the swing of things. I went on to The Triple Ring Productions web site to do some updates today and got all sidetracked on making a new image for the banner which rotates between the events/years. I got that done but isn’t…

  • Out Of It

    Whew! I have been out of it for a while. The last I recall I had this super hard block of training to do courtesy of Lynda and I dipped my front wheel over the rim of the canyon of “bad Ass” and headed down into it. Into the abyss of long, multiple, and time…
